Structure of an Inosine-Adenine Wobble Base Pair Complex in the Context of the Decoding Center


Overview

Here we report the crystal structures of I.C and I.A wobble base pairs in the context of the ribosomal decoding center, clearly showing that the I.A base pair is of an I(anti).A(anti) conformation, as predicted by Crick. Additionally, the structures enable the observation of changes in the anticodon to allow purine-purine base pairing, the 'widest' base pair geometry allowed in the wobble position.

About this Structure

1XNQ is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Thermus thermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
